Miss Abby is high energy and curious and a little flitty - Sheriff Toby is a solid fellow - doesn't talk much unless he has something to say - doesn't act before thinking - they're basically a police force TV drama 😊

Many people don’t realize too, since a puppy most male puppies will let the girls win at play fighting, and in general male dogs take a step back compared to female dogs. Not surprised at all Abby eats first etc. it’s just how it goes naturally.

When a guard dog runs all the way to the bottom end of the far paddock to see something off, you know in your heart that that is a good dog right there! And let's not forget Toby who didn't leave the main vulnerable area. Those dogs are awesome, you should be proud of yourself Morgan, after all the training you patiently did with them both. It's lovely to see a good dog working and being happy like your two always are. God bless you and congrats on the book signing. Have a great week!

If you got any spare worn out hose lying around, you could always permanently attach a small foot long section to the fence, or if you have PVC pipe large enough to fit your hose, permently attach it to the fence so all you have to do is stick the hose in the PVC.

@rebekkahnelson4192 4 ай бұрын

Hey Morgan! This might seem a little weird because I personally used it to do mass water changes in a mom and pop fish store BUT if you would like an easy way to fill the cattle water trough i recommend taking a piece of U SHAPED PVC so that you almost have a shepards hook for a hose. It is SO convenient to just set the hose on the corner of any tank/edge/trough while you go do other things. No need for securing and no need for worry because the Deep U shape makes for the perfect little security. Hope this helps! ;)

@doloresreynolds8145 4 ай бұрын

Morgan, when using the big twist tie on your hose: wrap the middle of the twist tie around the hose, use both ends to attach the hose to the fence, that will stabilize the hose for aiming.

We have stray cat colony near us. And they have an interesting feeding approach we've notice. The younger ones eat first then the older ones seem to stand at attention and are the gaurdians. Wonder if that's what's actually going on with your dogs. Also seems like the few elderly cats will eat first too. We took on two of them. The spare room has become home for them and some stay in our green house or under the deck. Where we have a few apartment totes that they keep warm in and sleep etc

The cats might get an occasional bit of meat, tuna or sardine, but I don't give them nearly as much diversity as the dogs. Dogs are more omnivorous than cats.

I still remember the numerous incidents Abby caused when she started, and how she shaped to become a failure for guarding birds. She grew out of that phase so nicely she's unrecognisable now, the overdriven dog that would chase birds to the point of injuring them is gone without a trace. You did a damn impressive job fixing her bad personality bias.

@sarahb5464 4 ай бұрын

As someone who studied cattle farming in college, you're so on point regarding behavior! EVERYONE (Esp a little cat) should be terrified of being underfoot. And every calf requires almost the exact effort that a rescue or purchase needs in order to gain trust / tame. If you have a groomed breed, each new calf is essentially born needing contact, but instinctually terrified of it. Social media always calls them "giant dogs" bc they're affectionate and form bonds, but they're highly guarded prey animals, so not at all dogs. They're always anticipating a fear response.

My male always waited for her to eat, then when she was done he would dive in.. He was a very calm patient Alpha, but if protection was needed for her, watch out.. Animals will teach us so much more than we think we know.

About the watering trough - how about fixing a short length of PVC pipe to aim into the the trough. Then all you have to do is stuff the hose into one end to fill it. No need to fiddle with the wire and trying to aim it. Being on a slope, it will drain as soon as you remove the hose.

In case you don’t know, you can easily test eggs for freshness: drop the egg in a glass of water; if it sinks, it’s fresh; but if it floats, it’s old. I saw someone somewhere here on You Tube say that even if it does float, it’s still ok. But I wouldn’t trust that.

I know this is a repeat comment but... to get the hose to be in a certain place to water all the bigger troughs have you considered putting a clamp on the trough lip? go to a hardware store with a small piece of plastic pipe that you use for watering and buy the necessary clamp, bolt and nuts to attach it to the trough. this will mean that you have to cut the end off of the pipe, this way you can just slip the hose through the clamp and viola you always have the proper placement for each of the troughs.
